Safari summary
Get ready for an exhilarating adventure that takes you to the very heart of Africa! Join us on an unforgettable wildlife safari and cultural tour where you’ll encounter some of the most esteemed tribes in Tanzania. Your journey begins at Tarangire National Park, where the stunning Tarangire River flows through low-lying hills of the Great Rift Valley. Picture yourself surrounded by Acacia woodlands and majestic African baobab trees amidst expansive swampland. This magical landscape draws wildlife like a magnet, especially during the dry season, allowing you to witness some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. Keep your eyes peeled for the rare species that call this park home - including the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, and a few elusive Ashy Starlings!
On day two, prepare to be awestruck as you venture to the legendary Serengeti, famous for its endless rolling plains stretching to the horizon. Enjoy a thrilling game drive in central Serengeti, known as Seronera, a treasure trove of wildlife. The Seronera River, a vital water source, brings animals from far and wide to this rich habitat filled with big cats and other magnificent creatures!
Day three kicks off with a morning game drive in Serengeti before heading to the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater. Descending 600 meters into this UNESCO World Heritage site, you'll embark on an incredible adventure surrounded by a staggering array of wildlife. From herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, and majestic elephants to the endangered black rhino and the park's impressive population of predators – including lions, hyenas, and jackals – every moment here is breathtaking. Don’t miss a visit to Lake Magadi, a beautiful alkaline lake where vibrant flamingos and hippos often grace the shores!
But that’s not all! This tour also offers a firsthand look at the rich cultures of two esteemed tribes in northern Tanzania – the Maasai and the Hadza hunter-gatherer community. You’ll immerse yourself in their ways of life by visiting a Maasai village and meeting these fascinating tribesmen and women. Experience the uniqueness of the Hadza people and their ancient traditions!
And let’s not forget your guide, Leo! She’s a trailblazing young woman and one of the few end-to-end professional female safari driver-guides in East Africa. With her extensive experience and passion, she’s dedicated to providing you with the adventure of a lifetime! Leo will also introduce you to our social responsibility projects, where you can witness our impactful menstrual health management initiative in public primary schools. You’ll have an opportunity to visit the project and learn more about the incredible work we’re doing in promoting menstrual health.
This is more than just a tour; it’s a journey of discovery, culture, and unforgettable experiences! Join us and make memories that will last a lifetime! Let the adventure begin!
